Hired Attorney Donald A. DiGioia

Working this lawyer was the best decision I ever made. I can’t thank Esquire Donal A. DiGioia enough for the incredible support he provided during a very stressful situation involving my 15-year-old son. As worried as I was at our case, he always made us feel confident and secure. He was brilliant in every way from start to finish. He explained everything clearly, kept us informed, and always made us feel like we were in capable hands. He made communication easy and was always quick to help with any questions or paperwork. Because of his dedication and expertise, we were able to get through a difficult time and feel very lucky to have had him on our team. Needless to say, we had the best possible outcome. Thank you so much Mr. DiGioia.

We could not have wished for a better lawyer. Mr. Digioia was simply the best. We had the best outcome possible with our case – and feel it was all due to the impeccable work he did. He was always available when we needed him. He was kind and patient with my son, explained legal verbiage in easy-to-follow language. We are thrilled with outcome. I can’t thank him enough for getting us through a very stressful year.

Mr. DiGioia came highly recommended and after looking him up, he appeared to be the best. And he is! Super knowledgeable and able to answer any questions you may have. Nobody can guarantee an outcome but he told me what he thought was going to happen and he was spot on with everything! Hopefully I never need another attorney, but if I do, I will be using him.

Don came very highly recommended, and he more than exceeded my expectations. He proved to be extremely knowledgeable and more than willing to take the time to understand the facts of my case and fight to get me a successful outcome. He is extremely well known and highly regarded by his peers and judges. In fact, I’m convinced there are very few if any other attorneys that could have gotten me the very favorable ruling he was able to obtain. I feel extremely fortunate to have had him as my advocate.

We came to Don with worry and stress in regard to our daughter. He met with all of us immediately. He reviewed and explained how he would approach her case. He was sensitive and patient with us/her. He spoke in a way we clearly understood not over our heads. He was very knowledgeable about the law and had years of experience. He and his assistant Cyndi were very communicative with Don calling us personally even on a weekend to keep us informed. He was successful in achieving a positive outcome for her. We highly recommend Donald A DiGioia, Esquire!!😀

Mr. DiGioia, is a top lawyer with a lot of experience. His expertise, loyalty, commitment and knowledge of the law speaks for himself. He speaks in a way that he is able to comfort you and explain the law to you in a manner that makes sense to you. I would recommend him to anyone who is in need of a lawyer.
